Culture
The massive bell tower of the Église paroissiale Saint-Vincent dates from the 16th century and is the oldest part of the church. Until the French Revolution, the church was the seat of the Archpriesthood of Louron. Its main construction phases took place in the 16th and 19th centuries.
The Tour de Génos was built in the 13th century. It used warning signals to alert the other towers to danger. It stands at a narrow point in the valley next to slate quarries.
